Micro Mod is Rob Bancroft's debut collection for Cloud 9 Fabrics. Micro Mod is a collection of 12 fabrics featuring a set of retro-inspired geometric prints on a intimate scale; 7 small scale designs in not necessarily a masculine palette - black, grey, teal, purple, and a touch of rusty orange and mustard yellow.

Arches in Grey, Library, Arches in Black, Night Vision in Black, and Zombie.

Micro Mod is a modern -100% Certified Organic - graphic collection that immediately appealed to my eye for clear pattern and color. I am particularly drawn to the black/white fabrics (pictured above), which will compliment my stash perfectly. The purple fabrics will be my challenge prints. I do like the color purple but continue to struggle to use purple in my quilts.

The fabric has a mid sixties vibe.... the decade, not the age of course. My mother sewed everything I wore and I had a blinding flashback when I gazed at the three palettes. I'm pretty sure my feet rose briefly off of the floor. You are an artist and I am always inspired and delighted by your quilts. Thankyou, thankyou for sharing.

A bit of a departure with respect to the colorway from what I usually see here, it will be interesting to see what you create with this set. I love the interesting designs of the fabrics and the colors, can't wait to purchase as many of this set as I can find!
